I'm new to the Skoolie world and super excited to get started on my bus! But, every insurance company I could find has turned me down. Are there some companies that will insure a school bus conversion in Texas?

I'm in Texas as well but have not insured my bus yet. I'm hearing a lot of folks having good luck with a company called National General. I also believe Good Sam Club has insurance contacts as well. Good Luck.

This is what you have to do... I just did it myself. The first time you get insurance go through a private broker, get a commercial policy and tell them you will not be hauling passengers. It cost me 350 for a six month policy. After you get your insurance you have to weigh it at a certified scale, then get it inspected. When all of that is done you can go down and register it as a "passenger vehicle over 6000 lbs." now it is registered just like a motor Home. I took the VIN and title to my regular insurer and they just gave me liability for one year at 125 dollars a year! Couldn't believe it!

We went through State Farm. If you're near Katy, TX there's a really good agent they have that insured us for almost 12 years without even a hitch on any of our odd-ball vehicles: an M1031, 3 M1009's, the 1988 Ford B600, and HF our 1989 Thomas. PM me if you would like his information.
